Knowledge in Data Science Symposium (KIDS24)

Sharing data science knowledge to advance cures for childhood disease

Register for KIDS24

 
 

September 16-17, 2024
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The St. Jude Knowledge in Data Science Symposium will enrich the collaborative data science culture by sharing and brainstorming ways to gain the most valuable scientific knowledge from biomedical data. It will bring together biologists, clinicians, biostatisticians, computational biologists, bioinformaticians, image analysts, structural biologists, software engineers, etc. as data science is an intrinsically multi-disciplinary field.  

Experts from St. Jude and elsewhere working at the forefronts of their fields will share encountered, solved, and remaining data science challenges in biomedical research in invited oral sessions and a contributed poster reception. Join developmental workshops, explore solutions to pressing data science challenges from St. Jude Biohackathon teams, and attend lunchtime panels on current topics. Don't miss the keynote by Dr. Andrew Smith, chair of Diagnostic Imaging at St. Jude!.
